Reputation/Karma

[MystiK_]

Good day everyone.
Was just reading the 'Forums FAQ' and stumbled upon a question about Karma.
Is this another form of your reputation? How can you see if someones got good karma or not? o:

[Wizardcat]

Karma was the system used before Reputation and was similar; it's not used anymore.

[teffy]

Oh yes, old posts.
It´s another form of reputation, it´s the OLD form of reputation. Not used anymore. You could give a player positive karma, and the player got a message from The Oracle (when he modified profile options)  and +1 karma point. The karma points were shown below the avatar.

Ahh i see.
So how do you give out or receive reputation from other members?

[Wizardcat]

Click on the electrum symbol underneath someone's reputation on a post you wish to give reputation for. It's self-explanatory from there. You need a minimum number of posts to do this, but I forget how many.

I think it's 30, I noticed this symbol right after I made my 31st post.

Oh alrite awesome.
So every time you give someone reputation they get 1 extra green bar?
Is there a limit to rep you can give?

[Wizardcat]

I believe that the number of gems you have is equal to your Reputation Power divided by 5, with a minimum of 1, and you give Rep equal to your Reputation Power. So the limit, if it exists, is pretty damn high.

See http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,24486.msg334250.html#msg334250 . If it was 5, I'd have several more bars. Zanz or SG would have hundreds more.

100 reputation = 1 Reputation Power

31 RP / 5 = 6.2

You have six bars.

Silly me, misread the numbers

Haha, this is very helpful.
So impressing veteran members is a smart thing to do? :3
